Chapter 36: 2-18 The Black Cat Squatting at the Door
After the whole team was corrupted in the evening, Da Xuan sent Coco to the downstairs of the apartment as usual.
"Actually, I can take the subway by myself." Coco muttered.
"You're not satisfied with a special car!?" Da Xuan said with a smile.
"The car is good, but if the car has police lights, it feels very strange, the aunt downstairs has been asking me recently, Xiaoxun, Xiaoxun, why were you sent back by the police car? Isn't there something wrong? ”
Da Xuan laughed very facelessly, "Next time you are disobedient, I will send you to the door in a police uniform, so that uncles and aunts can watch the excitement." ”
Coco pouted and didn't respond.
"Xun Keran, you scolded me again in your heart, didn't you?" The big tongue is threatening, but the voice is pleasant.
"You scold." Coco muttered.
"You try again, huh?" Da Xuan slowly parked the car under the apartment building, turned off the fire, and reached for Coco.
Coco dodged the claws of the big man and shouted, "You drink and drive!" I'm going to tell Senior Brother Xia Yuan to go, and my driver's license will be deducted tomorrow morning!" ”
"Hey, if you turn against you, I can't drink half a cup!" Da Xuan said that he was going to pinch her little face.
There was a crackling fight, but Coco was still caught by Da Xuan, and I thought very resentfully in my heart, I would go to sign up for grappling and fighting tomorrow morning, hum.
――――――――――――――
Watching Coco's back disappear into the dark intersection, he opened the car window and lit a cigarette.
The misty smoke was blown away by the wind, and Da Xuan stayed quietly in the car without moving, he always had a bad premonition these days, which can be said to be an intuition, making him feel that he would lose Coco at any time, or never see Coco again, where the feeling came from, he himself couldn't think clearly, but as a criminal policeman for more than ten years, he never let go of any intuition, often the most indescribable feeling, the most likely to change the entire unfavorable situation, and even let him pass by with death.
As far as the current situation is concerned, although there is no progress in physical evidence, on the other hand, Bai Ling and they are still secretly visiting the community near the scrap recycling station inch by inch, looking for the man with white spots on his face, Guji's speculation If there is no problem, then the next crime is close at hand, whether it can be stopped, or can only wait for the next headless female corpse, it is really unknown, but no matter what, these have nothing to do with the safety of Coco itself, what is the reason, Let your instincts feel that cocoa is in danger? It can't be because of Guji's strange enthusiastic attitude towards Coco, right? Or is it the provocative archaeological consultant, Li Yiji?
Da Xuan was thinking wildly about his cigarette, and suddenly felt something flash in front of the car window, and the street lights were dim, which made him suddenly alert, and as soon as he snuffed out the cigarette butt, he saw a beige figure rushing out of the alley.
It's cocoa!
Without thinking, Da Xuan rushed out of the car, and Coco was trotting across the road, as if chasing something.
"Coco!" Da Xuan's voice made her stop, turned to look, her face showed a rare impatient expression, and in the short seconds when she hesitated whether to continue chasing or stopping, Da Xuan rushed over.
"Coco, what are you doing?" Da Zhen was a little angry.
"Cat, that black cat!" Coco gasped, "It's, it's crouching on my doorstep!" As if waiting for me to go back, as soon as I walked over, it ran a few steps and then turned back......"
Da Xuan felt that his scalp was a little numb, what is this cat, it doesn't count if it appears three times or twice, and even appears at the door of Coco's house at night, as if he is waiting for her to come back, where is this cat?
"Da Xuan, it, it seems to want me to follow it, just now it has been walking and stopping, and now, it's still ...... You see, it's still there. ”
Da Xuan followed Coco's point, and two clusters of dark green flames jumped under the flower bed not far away. Coco couldn't help but want to move on, and Da Xuan grabbed her.
Coco looked back at him, and the look of anxiety was something Da Xuan had never seen before, and she struggled slightly, as if she was enchanted to chase the black cat.
"Cocoa...... Cacao...... Xun Keran! His wrists gripped her tightly.
Coco finally came to her senses and quieted down.
"Xun Keran, what is your profession?"
Coco stared at the man in front of him and was stunned, ".................. Forensic. ”
"What is the most important thing about a forensic doctor?"
In the eye contact with Da Xuan, her eyes gradually returned to clarity, "It's calm." She said.
"It's 23 o'clock in the evening," Da Xuan looked at his watch, "it's late at night, and you're going to track down this weird cat?" ”
Indeed, Coco looked around, the cold wind at night was blowing the bits and pieces of garbage on the side of the street, the street lamps emitted a flickering yellow light, except for her and Da Xuan standing here, there was not even a homeless man around, and it seemed that it was not a good choice to rashly chase the strange black cat in such a situation.
"But it'......"
"I understand, I understand," Da Xuan reassured, "I know it's weird, I know it's all right, but it's too late, if it reappears, I'll accompany you to chase it, Coco is obedient." Da Xuan suddenly felt like an old mother coaxing the child home, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the dignified criminal police captain was about to become a nanny.
――――――――――――――
The black cat with dark green flames watched the man slowly walk away. Reluctantly, he turned around and ran, running through the streets, jumping countless from alleys and civilian rooms, and finally reached the goal.
A terrible woman's scream was cut off as soon as it was issued.
The woman was tied to the bed, and no matter how hard she tried, it only added pain to both wrists. In my ears was the man's whispered song, and the sound of grinding knives. Frightened, tearful eyes slowly turned to see the man with a knife and walked over with a smile.
The last picture that freezes in the eyeballs is two green flames outside the window... Slowly, slowly disappearing......
Out of nowhere, there was a "gurgling, clucking," sound like crying, or smirking.
The black cat closed its eyes.
――――――――――――――
"Here you go, milk." Da Xuan shoved the hot milk onto the table in front of Cocoa.
Coco, who had been sitting quietly in her seat, suddenly smiled, "Why do you still have to be taken care of in my own home?" ”
The corners of Da Xuan's mouth twitched twice when he heard this, "Do you think I am willing to be a nanny, you are better than Bai Ling Xue Yang and they will stab Lou Zi, if I wasn't downstairs just now, I would probably not receive the news until tomorrow morning, what will happen if you rush to chase that black cat like that?" ”
Coco's heart trembled, she didn't think about it, it was completely out of instinct or the impulse to be confused, so she followed the black cat squatting at the door of the house and chased her, now sitting in her room and thinking calmly, she suddenly felt a little afraid, if she kept chasing, what would she encounter?
Da Xuan pulled away the seat next to her and sat down, "Also, Xun Keran, I just saw you spread out the autopsy photos and records of the headless female corpse on your desk, and you even go home to look at these things!?" ”
Coco was silent for a moment, "I always feel like I'm missing something......"
Da Xuan stared at her, "Stop, stop." ”
Coco glanced at Da Xuan's expression, pouted, and said nothing.
Da Xuan sighed and thought about what to say, "I have been a policeman for almost ten years, and in the past ten years, I have seen more strange things than others in their lifetime, not to mention murderers, just talking about colleagues around me, I have seen the policemen who lost their minds and beat criminals to death in the process of arresting, I have seen the policemen who were stabbed by thieves but the people around them did not call the police and finally died of excessive blood loss on the street, I have seen the policemen who kidnapped and threatened to tear up their wives and sons by criminals in order to solve the case, not to mention that others are me, People in their thirties don't even have a home, and the people say that those who wear police uniforms are iron men, but there is no difference between who and no one takes off the police uniform, you go to the police compound to see, how many can finally retire, raise flowers and birds to spend their old age? There are really few, ten years I think is a long time, as long as a lifetime, let alone a lifetime...... Alas, I don't know what I'm talking about anymore, anyway......"
Da Xuan's hand gently played with the small teacup on the table, "Anyway, Coco, I know that you like your work, you see grievances from those dead people, but no matter how big the sky is, it is not as important as your own come, don't believe those model worker deeds in the newspaper, don't take your work as your all, you are really made of iron, and you can't stand the bloody photos in your dreams every night." ”
After Da Xuan finished speaking, he seemed to sigh, and Coco's eyelashes flickered slightly, "When you have been staring at the abyss, the abyss is also watching you." ”
What the?
"The words in Nietzsche's "Super Good and Evil" mean that when you keep chasing the devil, you must also know that the devil is also watching you." Coco raised his head and met Da Xuan's eyes, and returned to his former clarity.
"What a crepe thing, anyway! In the future, you are not allowed to take these work materials home for research, and if I find out, I will deduct your bonus! Da Xuan stood up and stretched, "Okay, I'll go back, you go to bed, will I come to pick you up tomorrow morning?" ”
Coco looked at the man in front of him, the sleeve tube of his coat was ground into a hole, and there were faint mud marks on the trouser leg tube, he had to continue the search work in the urban and rural areas tomorrow morning, and he had to report the progress of the case to the director, and the internal briefing of several major media would be held in the afternoon, so many things were on the agenda, he actually remembered to ask this, will he come to pick you up tomorrow morning.
Coco has never been in love, she never thought that there would be someone who would be unconditionally good to whom in this life, and in that cold autopsy room, she had seen too many people's endings. Sometimes there are lovers who sit outside the door and cry until they faint, and sometimes there are some people who no one cares. Feelings seem to be a matter of another world, and one day, I will meet them.
"Big ......"
"Huh?" He neatly tied his shoes and asked without raising his head.
"Wait...... This case is over, and I have something to say to you. When Coco said this, his eyes looked away.
Da Xuan stopped moving, looked at her with a slightly red face, and couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, I'll wait." He said.
None of them expected that the impact was imminent.
